Hector Meinhof has written a book that is both beautiful and cruel. His poetic prose and the doom-laden pictures from his extensive collection of vintage photographs have bled into one tortured, corporeal unity. All these pictures have played a significant part in the writing of Three Nails, Four Wounds. Meinhof has used a tableau of chosen images to keep the narrative flowing, each chapter being concentrated around a specific set of photographs.
This is the illustrated scripture for the new dark ages, it will be read and beheld again and again - Martin Bladh
The second edition of the book will include a CD with a music collaboration between Hector Meinhof, who will read a text collage consisting of extracts from his book, and composer Alexandra Nilsson who derived her soundscape from limestone, sandstone, slate and electronics.The piece was recorded at the prominent Electronic Music Studio (EMS), Stockholm, early 2019.
